Not really, Boeser tips this one very safely.

Yes and no. 2015 has McDavid but 2016 is much more difficult to play against, and should be better defensively.
I'd almost want to say they make a better playoff line.

Voted 2016 because I think it’s a more balanced/effective line.

Production wise, I think 2015 is better.

 

[KlefDown]

Replace Marner with Barzal.

2015 wouldn't have to worry about defense. The best offense is a good defense.

2015 wouldn't have to worry about defense. The best offense is a good defense.

They both would be +ppg lines, McDavid is the best player of the group, Laine the best goal scorer.

And yes you need to know how to play defense in the playoffs, tougher line with better defense makes a better playoff line most likely.

Boeser-McDavid-Marner AINEC. Matthews isn't on the same level as McDavid. Boeser>Tkachuk and the difference between Laine and Marner isn't enough to sway the vote at all.

McDavid + Boeser, wow that would be something to see.

Going into a playoff series...

Tkachuk - Matthews - Laine ainec

Pond Hockey

Boeser - McDavid - Marner

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

The Tkachuk-Matthews-Laine line would be disgusting

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

the 2016 one would probably be a more effective line in practice, but the 2015 one has more talent on paper

Let me guess, that line is more “meat and patatoes” ?

Replace Marner with Barzal.

That doesn’t make it close then. It would be pretty lopsided.

 

[Cleatus]

Tkachuk-Matthews-Laine. Too much goal scoring ability and intangibles on this line for me to pick the McDavid line.

LOL

 

[Cleatus]

LOL

If you want me to get into specifics, in addition to ridiculous goal scoring ability, I feel the Matthews line would be better defensively, it has significantly more size, and Tkachuk would give it a physical edge and agitating qualities.

Basically, I feel it’s the kind of stuff that could be the bane of the hypothetical McDavid line.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Boeser > Tkachuk

McDavid >> Matthews

Marner << Laine


This is easily 2015.

My thoughts as well.

 

[jetsforever]

Yeah I'd take 2015.

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

McDavid line, better defensively and offensively.

 

[Haatley]

Tkachuk>>Boeser
Mcdavid>>>>Matthews
Laine>>>Marner

 

[Ace of Hades]

^What?

Anyways

Boeser is better than Tkachuk while McDavid takes out Matthews puts their trio ahead.
